J Phil Loxton Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The decision is being made after the lifting of lockdown. And if the government sees possibilities of a return to easing travel because of the vaccine etc then the chosen one will be Toulouse. It's Elstones wish to have a second French team. So the upshot is dependent on the virus in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with Toulouse or London.I think a second French team would be beneficial to the game in France.London were unlucky to be relegated after winning ten of their matches in S.L.Fev also should be contenders because of their playing record over the last decade and unlike Fax,Bradford and Leigh heve never had the chance to perform in S.L..

Think they are going back to Odsal, as I believe there will be either be dog racing or some sort of racing there next year.

That housing might also have an impact on whether stock cars are allowed back - there are reports that the residents are already organising their objections.

Reading the various articles featuring Elstone in LE (he has been so quiet for so long then is all over the place - funny that) I interpret his comments as being distinctly against Toulouse and also damning Catalans with false praise. Very manipulative, in fact. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.
